In 1968 the spy ship USS Pueblo was captured by North Korea, allegedly in
their waters (but the Americans dispute this) after a 2-hour chase and the
death of a crew member; there was no time to destroy the classified
material. The crew were held prisoner for 11 months, but the Pueblo
remains in North Korea as a war museum exhibit, and still remains a
commissioned USN ship (the only one still held in captivity).
Dunno what happened to the crypto stuff, but I'll bet that the Chinese were
slavering over it...
